My dad used to mention that one of his old army buddies from Baker Co., 666th Field Artillery Battalion in WWII, Bert Quint, was the same Bert Quint who handled foreign affairs reporting for CBS News for so many years. I even mentioned the story to Nathaniel Blumberg, who has recently written a book about neighboring Charlie Company, and he got excited too. Well, I E-Mailed famed Bert Quint, and he said - no, that's not him. It appears to be a coincidence of names (which reminds me of something similar that happened in 'Saving Private Ryan'). Another family legend bites the dust!
